GA_P and PKF Attest advises on ANDRITZ’s acquisition of Salico
In a cross-border transaction that strengthens the industrial footprint of Austrian listed group ANDRITZ, law firm Gómez-Acebo & Pombo (GA_P) has advised the buyer on the acquisition of Salico Group, a specialist in metal finishing lines with operations in Italy, Spain, the UK, the US, and India.
The GA_P team consisted of Mónica Weimann Gómez (partner, pictured left), Cristina Sánchez Weickgenannt, Guillermo Menéndez Herrero, Delia Castaños Domínguez, Iratze Arrigain García, Paula García Cuevas, and Andrea González-Novo López.
The acquisition enhances ANDRITZ’s technology portfolio and reinforces its position in the downstream metals processing sector, a key area for industries such as steel and aluminium. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks.
On the sell-side, PKF Attest acted as advisor to Grupo Salico. The financial advisory team was led by José María Alberú B. and Ander Alarcón, while legal advice was provided by Erick Berguer (partner, pictured right) and Galo Gorrachategui Manso.
ANDRITZ’s acquisition of Salico reflects its strategic aim to expand global reach and offer integrated, state-of-the-art solutions in metal processing. Salico Group brings decades of expertise in the design and manufacture of finishing equipment for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, with headquarters in Italy and Spain.
The deal highlights the role of seasoned advisors on both sides, facilitating a complex international acquisition within the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
